I think I see Chris Hayes on MSNBC often. He is Washington DC editor of The Nation. He has also written for NY Times Magazine.

Is he that weasel-looking guy that has a new show? He talks with his hands WAY too much.

The significance of a list of names? Sorry, but I don't know anything about the list, hence my asking questions. If you do not understand the purpose of questions, I am afraid there is no help for you...

I think you might be right. I think he's substituted foe maddow before. I think Ezra Klein (the founder of jounolist) is on Maddow a lot too. I can't stand either one of them.

Yep, they had a lot of trouble trying to figure the best way to trash her though. They debated different tactics for quite awhile.
